Belltown Athletic Supply $($BAS$)$ makes game jerseys for athletic teams.

The F$.$ C$.$ Kitsap soccer club has offered to buy $100$ jerseys for the teams in its league for $$15$ per jersey.

The team price for such jerseys normally is $$18,$ an $80\%$ markup over BAS's purchase price of $$10$ per jersey. BAS adds a name and number to each jersey at a variable cost of $$2$ per jersey.

The annual fixed cost of equipment used in the printing process is $$6,000,$ and other fixed costs allocated to jerseys are $$2,000.$ BAS makes about $2,000$ jerseys per year, so the fixed cost is $$4$ per jersey. The equipment is used only for printing jerseys and stands idle $\mathrm{.}75\%$ of the usable time.

The manager of BAS turned down the offer, saying, $"$If we sell at $$15$ and our cost is $$16,$ we lose money on each jersey we sell. We would like to help your league, but we can't afford to lose money on the sale."
